Golf Instruction

Although it may be hard to believe, many casual golfers struggle for years without seeing much improvement in their games. Often, this is not due to lack of playing time but instead due to the fact that they won’t seek out golf swing instruction, which may be the number one way to dramatically improve your game.

A golf swing is not just about power, which is a fact that many people who have played other sports have a hard time adjusting to. If you take some golf swing instruction, you will soon learn that technique, not power, is the most important part of the swing, and it’s a pretty safe bet that your technique needs work. Perhaps you are standing up during your swing, or unconsciously twisting incorrectly. Once you’ve identified these issues, you can improve them.

After years of internal struggle and minimal improvement in my game, I finally gave in and paid for private golf lessons. The turning point came when I went golfing with a friend with whom I hadn’t golfed with in years. At the end of the 18 holes he half-jokingly told me that I had the same game as I had the last time we golfed. What’s worse is that I realized he was right.

So, I went to my local golf pro, paid for private golf lessons and quickly found that I had been “practicing” and “improving” a fundamentally wrong golf swing. Through his private golf lessons, I’ve shown more improvement in the last month, than I’ve shown over the last year.
